It’s winter,
and the wind is howling
over Bone’s and his Mom’s
row.

The temperature’s dropped
into the twenties.

Bones and Mom don’t have
any money for heat.

There is one thing nice
about Philadelphia row houses
with thin walls.

If your house
is in the middle of the row,
you can share
some of your neighbor’s heat.

It comes through the walls.

The temperature
never drops
below freezing.

If you bundle up real good with clothes,
and lay next to a wall,
you can sometimes get a little sleep.

Yeah, it’s frightening
just thinking about it.

Bobby

You are so right, I remember some pretty cold, bleak winters growing up.
